About Me

I started my banking career in 1990 working as a Financial Analyst for a Financial Security Firm in Houston, Texas and later spent 3 years as a SBA Financial Underwriter. I moved back to Cleveland Ohio in 1994 working as a SBA Product Business Development Officer for a Small community bank and in 2001 won the Financial Services Advocate of the Year award for the Cleveland district office.

I started at Huntington Bank in 2008 as a SBA Product Specialist Sr. specializing in a variety of SBA lending products including merger and acquisition financing, debt restructuring and real estate purchase and refinance. At Huntington Bank, I am very proud of what we have collectively achieved including being the #1 SBA lender in the State of Ohio for the last 8 years. Our expertise, turn-around time and approval percentages exceed our market competition.

I am a 1990 graduate of the University of Houston with a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance and a minor in Accounting.
